In 2023, the re-import of not knitted or crocheted women's and girls' trousers and shorts of wool or fine animal hair to the UK was approximately 3.1 thousand units. The forecasted data from 2024 to 2028 illustrates a consistent decline, with values starting at 2.93 thousand in 2024 and dropping to 2.3 thousand by 2028. This represents an average annual decline (CAGR) of around 5.6% over the five-year period.
Key trends to watch:
- Emerging sustainable fashion trends that may affect re-import patterns.
- Changing consumer preferences towards different materials.
- Potential impacts of trade policies on import dynamics.
